>So if I just be the most predictable basic bitch in the road with my signals on for half a mile, sure I may get flicked off or honked at,
The secret to avoiding rage is signal BEFORE braking. If you brake before signaling you are doing it WRONG and will piss people off.

Not go up like its your first time behind the wheel. I feel you but too many people tend to stop to half the speed of smell and then Farmer Brown it like they are parking an aircraft carrier.

Its also never been rammed down one's throat. That's what the Right does.I am not saying change should not happen, but it should not be forced with quotas and the like.

>you apparently think you already know all the answers to the issues of workplace gender politics.
Well they teach us this in the industry: if you have to force it, you are doing something wrong.

>Yeah, because women LITERALLY weren't allowed to even apply for these roles until recently
Women helped win WWII in such jobs. Turns out they are fantastic welders.
>and there's still massive sexism within a lot of manual labour industries
Blue collar manual worker here. No. The women that do work here would not tolerate it. That stereotype is breathing its last breath thankfully.
> It's almost like (gasp) increased equality in the workplace could help to solve this issue too!
Its about making the proverbial horse drink, there is water all around. Its not all that high paying, not clean at all, and in rather undesirable temperatures at times. Not exactly what you described as the jobs that women are gunning for. Is there a drive to get women into blue collar like there is with STEM?

>men dominating all high-powered/high-paying roles is unfair, too
As is men dominating the blue collar, labor intensive, often dangerous roles. But we don't hear about that for some odd reason.

Why is it unfair when its a man, but "unfair" when its a woman?

The one who wouldn't get away with it. Googles student rape cases

>there's effectively already a 'man quota' in many ways.
If a quota for one is okay, a quota for the other is as well. Otherwise what you want isnt equality. What you want is revenge.
